Event Description

*************************************************

MINIMUM RIDING REQUIREMENTS:
COMPLETE BOARD(skate or long) and a HELMET

FOR DOWNHILL SPRINT/RACE:

GLOVES ARE COMPULSORY, If you are not wearing gloves at the top of the hill you will be forced out of your race.

Don't have a set of gloves, make you own, it's really cheap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0tFswLJfpM

*************************************************
The Board Meeting Free Ride Fest, is about Brisbane longboarders getting behind a charity and shredding a hill.
We're welcoming all skaters of all skill levels whether you're a grom or part of core crowd, maybe you own a cruiser and want to see what the sport really has to offer, the Free Ride Fest is for everyone.

The Day will be a $5 registration fee, if you feel you can donate more.
There will be a cafe where you can purchase cold food and drink.

The event will be at Lakeside Park Raceway, which has a intermediate downhill course (with corners, several infact), and several straights we will use for slalom and freeride competition events.

We are sponsored by SKateboard Express and Skatebiz, who are providing prizes and raffles for the day.

For every young australian who wished to move about. for every young australian who deserves better.for every young australian who doesn't see there disability as a handicap. for every young australian who reaches beyond their limits. For every parent who see's hope and potential in there child's eyes. For those who really need our help. Dig Deep. Put wheel to ground. And Shred!

Calvin, looks like you are on a winner here, well done.

Now all we need is slalom racing.

ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on October 16, 2012 at 10:49: Calvin,

That is great news. Please make sure that you get the next event up on ASRA at least one month before the event to make the competition eligible for ASRA ranking points. Having points will make sure that you get good attendance, and you can ask for a bit more in rego fees to really make a difference for people like Seb. Also the fact that you have a legit off-road event entitles the event to the highest level of ranking points.

You can take advantage of the ASRA registration system, which will drop the rego fees into your paypal account, which is so much better than "likes".

If Brad & Steve attend they will be able to show you slalom, and fill you in on how ASRA can help with your events.

By the way, what facebook group did you use to promote the event, and can you tell them about ASRA?

Have a great day, and please post up some photos, and tell us how much you raised.

Premium Member Comment by PC on October 15, 2012 at 23:24: Good luck with the event & the fund raising Calvin.

I let a few mates know about it up there, hopefully Brad Sterritt & Steve Daddow make it along.

Comment by Calvin Skinner on October 15, 2012 at 23:14: Hey Bernie, sorry for not replying soon. we have 125 confirmed people coming via facebook, expect the number to be around 100 (due to facebook, being facebook). it's a double event for both freeride and downhill. it's going to be a sick day for everyone. so come on down (or up).

Comment by Daire craddock on October 15, 2012 at 20:33: around 100 are going Bernie

ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on October 15, 2012 at 8:54: This is a good cause, and $5 is waaaay too cheap
ASRA members should be able to scrape $10 or even $20 to help Seb, and to show support for Calvin, and respect to the Raceway!

From theboardmeeting.org

"If you are into longboard skateboarding this event will be a great day to attend. So cool that Queensland Raceway offered their Lakeside track for the comp as it safer environment than a street event. At only $5 to enter it's a steal. Pit Lane Cafe will be open for food & drinks and plenty of onsite parking.
All proceeds going to help buy a new wheelchair for young Seb Rawlinson."

Calvin, do you have any idea of numbers yet?

Well done on getting such a great location for your event.

How did you manage that because the rest of the country can learn form you!
